Welcome

Sumer (or Šumer, Sumerian) was one of the early civilizations of the Ancient Near East, located in the southeast of Iraq (Mesopotamia) from the time of the earliest records in the mid 4th millennium BC until the rise of Babylonia in the late 3rd millennium BC. The term "Sumerian" applies to all speakers of the Sumerian language. Sumer is considered the first settled society in the world to have manifested all the features needed to qualify fully as a "civilization".
